One of the cool new features in RAD Studio XE6 is Backend as a Service (BaaS). BaaS, also known as “mobile backend as a service” (MBaaS), provides mobile app developers with a way to link their applications to backend cloud storage and APIs exposed by back end applications. It does this, while also providing features such as push notifications, user management, and integration with social networking services. RAD Studio XE6 BaaS integrates with leading BaaS providers which includes support for Kinvey and Parse out of the box.

With BaaS, you get easy access to common services in the cloud such as

Build multi-device service based applications using the FireMonkey and VCL frameworks

Use push notifications to engage your users on any device or platform

Access data and object storage in the cloud

Provide application and storage security with user authentication

Work with popular BaaS providers including Kinvey and Parse using a component based API

In this RAD in Action webinar video, David I explains how to gain easy access to common services in the cloud without having to build or maintain the back-end services yourself.
